How to do it

  1. Put a mini band around your legs just above your knees or around your ankles.
  2. Stand with your feet about hip-width apart so the band is taut, and sit into a half squat with your chest up.
  3. Step sideways with your leading foot, then bring the other foot in only partway so the band stays tight.
  4. Stay low with your toes forward and your knees pushed out, and walk back the other way after the set number of steps.

Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
